  3. Oh Karen, thanks so much for the award! I just received it from someone else too several weeks ago - I'm so blessed! My 8 things aren't near as exciting as yours though. Love the one about the retirement and doing the Panama Canal! First of all, you'll LOVE the retirement part! I wouldn't trade for that (unless, of course, it involved a little more money! LOL) And as far as Panama. I actually lived there for a little over a year (my husband (at the time) was in the Navy). It's an experience of a lifetime - and the canal is wonderful! You will really enjoy that.
    Thanks so much again for the award and for visiting my blog! Hope you have a Happy New Year.

  5. Thank you Karen,
    I have never received an award like this before so will work out what I need to do. I truly appreciate it!
    I love that you have long term friends as I too have a friend from my childhood and even though we are separated by 1000km one phone call and she would be here and vice versa.
    Now as to retirement - It is the start of your next life's adventure! "Oh the tings's you can do" as Dr Suess says.

    I am glad you like my blog. I love writing it and have now got a second one going too! Don't ask about the things that I don't do!
